Look Doc, we all in some form live somewhat vicariously through our favorite teams, athletes and whatever figures we choose to admire. Try not to be so literal ? I was also really pissed when "we" signed Star for 10 mil a year even though I was fully aware it wasn't my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Diggs isn't a slot guy. I just went there because by the OPs prediction we'd have a #1 WR whose posting identical numbers to our current slot WR.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I believe that re Bills will target him 8 times a game on average. If you take his career on a per target basis you are looking at: 87 catches 1,108 yards 7 TDs That’s what I’ll roll with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is nothing for a #1 receiver. Over those same two years, Michael Thomas got 332, Julio Jones got 327, Deandre Hopkins got 313. Anything less than 150 targets/year for a #1 WR qualifies as not getting enough targets. So not enough targets is the same as no targets? He got targeted less than other #1 receivers because the Vikings have two #1 receiver talents. I am a huge Diggs fan but trying to make out he wasn't targeted by Cousins is a bizarre take, yes. He wasn't targeted as much as some of the other top guys, sure. But he had plenty of targets how else would he have put up the yards he did?

Targets was like the whole reason Diggs got so upset with the Vikings. It is the literal reason he is now on the Bills. Last year he got about 100. I am super surprised that saying he didnt get enough targets is somehow an objectionable take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he had plenty of targets how else would he have put up the yards he did? “Wasn’t targeted as much as some of the other top guys” is an extreme understatement. Like I said in another post. He was the only wr in the top 20 for yds that had less than 100 targets(94), and the next closest was 113. he put up those yds because he had the ability to maximize his low target number and he had a real accurate qb that helped make them count as well.

That still doesn't equate to getting no targets. 94 targets is still a lot of targets and as @Mr. WEO said he has had more in previous years.

It was 45th in the whole entire league. Let’s add some context. A healthy top ten talent ranked 45th in targets. No. It’s not a lot. It’s just not. factor in who we are talking about and it’s ridiculously low. I’ll concede the other years. but ya. If we need to get into being overly literal about what somebody said then sure he had more than “no targets at all” Edited August 2, 2020 by Stank_Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we need to get into being overly literal about what somebody said then sure he had more than “no targets at all” I don't accept it is ridiculously low. It is low. It isn't even close to no targets. I also think you have to consider it as a share of the Vikings pass attempts if you are looking at proper context.
